It is a routine practice in public service aimed at strengthening efficiency and ensuring that government programs achieve their intended goals,\u201d Nakityo said.<\/p>\n<p>She urged councilors and local leaders to support the transfers, noting that they are meant to enhance service delivery rather than serve as punitive measures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ask leaders to support this process because it is designed to improve service delivery and ensure that government resources reach the intended beneficiaries. Transfers are not a punishment but a necessary step to address inefficiencies,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>The Parish Development Model (PDM), launched in 2022, seeks to drive economic transformation at the grassroots level by shifting households from subsistence farming into the money economy.<\/p>\n<p>By operating at the parish level, the program ensures that government services and development initiatives directly benefit communities.<\/p>\n<p>Nakityo reassured stakeholders that the restructuring is meant to build public confidence in the program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are committed to ensuring that this program succeeds in lifting people out of poverty. Accountability and transparency must be at the center of its implementation,\u201d she affirmed.<\/p>\n<p>District leaders and residents have welcomed the initiative, expressing optimism that it will improve service delivery and curb corruption in the PDM\u2019s implementation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Uganda<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
